Tucked away on Fairford Avenue, this semi‑detached three-bedroom house offers a practical retirement option with scope to personalise. The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking for two cars and a private rear garden ready for landscaping or low-maintenance planting. Chain free and presented for those aged 60+ to consider the Home for Life Lifetime Lease, it can offer substantial savings compared with full market purchase.
The house is mid‑20th century and requires modernization throughout — kitchens, bathroom and finishes will need updating to modern standards. At around 716 sq ft with a single family bathroom, the layout suits downsizers who value manageable space and outside room rather than large family accommodation. There is potential to improve value by refurbishing the interior and transforming the rear garden into an attractive outdoor retreat.
Important practical points: the property has a medium flood risk and average broadband speeds, but excellent mobile signal and low local crime. Local schools and amenities are close by, and the area is described as multi‑ethnic professionals with families, which supports long‑term community stability. The Home for Life guide price shown is £347,000 (typical saving ~33% on the £525,000 market value) but the actual price depends on age and circumstances, and customers may purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard value.
This home will suit an over‑60 buyer seeking a chain‑free, manageable house they can adapt over time. Viewings are advised for anyone wanting to assess renovation potential, garden space and the Lifetime Lease option in person.
